Millennium Golf
Paal-Beringen
Millennium Golf offers a scenic and strategic round beside the Paalse Plas in Paal-Beringen, within the green countryside of Belgian Limburg. Centred around a large lake and surrounded by mature oak and beech trees, rhododendrons and open parkland, the club provides a peaceful setting for golfers looking to explore beyond Belgium’s better-known city destinations.
Designed by Belgian golf architect Bruno Steensels, the main 18-hole Championship Course plays to a par of 72 and measures 6,063 metres from the back tees. Water is the defining feature of the layout, influencing play on most holes and creating a steady mixture of cautious decisions and tempting risk-and-reward opportunities.
The fairways provide enough room to keep the course enjoyable for visiting golfers, but finding the correct landing areas is important. Drives played towards the wrong side can bring lakes, trees and bunkers into the following shot, while approaches into the greens regularly demand confident distance control. The open sections can also become more challenging when the wind strengthens, adding another layer to club selection and course management.
Alongside the championship layout is a nine-hole Compact Course measuring 719 metres. It is ideal for beginners, families, golfers working on their short game or anyone wanting a quicker additional round. Practice facilities include a driving range, putting green, chipping green and practice bunker.
After golf, The Mill clubhouse and brasserie offers seasonal food, drinks and panoramic views across the course. Visitors can also walk beside the Paalse Plas, try seasonal watersports or explore Beringen’s wider cycling routes. The nearby be-MINE site provides something completely different, combining the area’s coal-mining heritage with museums, outdoor activities and distinctive industrial architecture.
For golfers seeking a technical parkland course, attractive lakeside scenery and easy access to the wider Limburg region, Millennium Golf is an enjoyable addition to a Belgium golf holiday.

About The Area
Paal-Beringen is a relaxed golf holiday destination in Belgian Limburg, combining a challenging championship course with lakeside scenery, cycling routes and fascinating industrial heritage. Paal forms part of the wider city of Beringen and provides a quieter base than Belgium’s major cities, while Brussels Airport is approximately 55 kilometres away. A hire car is recommended for exploring the surrounding golf courses and countryside.
The main attraction is Millennium Golf, situated beside the Paalse Plas lake. Its 18-hole, par-72 Championship Course measures approximately 6,300 metres and was designed by Belgian architect Bruno Steensels. Water comes into play on many holes, so golfers must balance attacking shots with careful course management. Oaks, beeches, birches and rhododendrons frame the fairways, creating an attractive parkland setting throughout the round. There is also a nine-hole Compact Course for beginners, practice sessions or an additional shorter game.
Golfers planning a longer Belgian golf break can also travel to Royal Limburg Golf Club at Houthalen-Helchteren, whose heathland-style course has been compared with traditional British championship layouts. Spiegelven Golf Club near Genk provides another varied 18-hole challenge across gently rolling ground.
Away from golf, Beringen’s standout attraction is be-MINE, one of Flanders’ most important former mining sites. Visitors can explore the Mining Museum, climb Adventure Mountain or enjoy walking and cycling routes through the historic colliery area. The site also includes climbing, swimming and indoor snorkelling and diving facilities.
Belgian Limburg is particularly enjoyable by bicycle, with an extensive network connecting woodland, heath, former mining communities and lakes. Hasselt and Genk are both suitable for day trips, adding restaurants, cafés and cultural attractions to the itinerary.
Paal-Beringen is therefore a strong choice for golfers seeking something different from Belgium’s better-known city breaks: peaceful surroundings, strategic golf and plenty to explore between rounds.
